So when mining we actually calculating other people transactions. What if everone just mining and nobody make transactions? The whole point of bitcoin is that it has no fees if you use professional mode wont that defeat the purpose of not having a central computer? And after 2140 there will be no reward to maintain the network then why would anyone bother doing it? Would the people investing money into these servers not just quit right away causing the whole system to collapse and the value of money be completely lost?

All these are basically just imaginary scenarios because I see no reason why a network basically created to make transactions with will suddenly be abandoned by the whole world only to test something fictional. The bitcoin network isn't dependent on fees if it were it would be impossible to broadcast a transaction without fees but that isn't the case.
Even if all coins get mined the network will still continue by creating new blocks that wouldn't have rewards since miners would now depend solely on fees.

It was said directly by the second post in the thread.

No transactions - there is no eco and no chain of blocks with them inside.

And Satoshi himself envisioned the fees to be the next step to reward the miners.
